The US does NOT have the Technology/ resources to design & operate a modern Diesel AIP Submarine .
The US Navy had to lease one from Sweden instead , the SSK Gotland .
I'm not sure how China can be "clearly copying a US design ", when in fact the US does NOT have a single modern Diesel AIP Submarine.
I'll surmise to suggest that the modern world reality is very different from Hollywood movies
